About Barbara Fisher

Hello there. My name is Barbara Fisher and I am a new on the blogosphere. I have thought about doing this for sometime as I can be very opinionated about things and sometimes too much for Facebook. I am a married and the mother of two adult children, and the grandmother of seven. I am a Christian and have recently just moved my membership to a Reformed Baptist Church. I retired December 2012, and that has afforded me this opportunity to not overwhelm Facebook with my thoughts. I hope you find my blog – thought provoking, engaging, and interesting. Please let me know what you think. This is one venue where your feedback is the juice craved to keep going and going.

Embrace the Hoary Head?

Daily Prompt

Before you Google “hoary”, it is simply referred to as gray in the Bible. It says:

The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. Proverbs 16:31 KJV

So if gray hair is my crown of glory, why am I constantly washing away my glory? Why do I resist it?  Yes, I still can hear that commercial tune.

Although, while I am washing it away, it has become the vogue thing for the youth.  Quite a few of them are dyeing their hair grayish/purplish.

We are just never satisfied are we?  Another blogger said it best on this: https://plaridel.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/do-the-math-secret-to-staying-young/

For me, I must admit shamefully, it is vanity. Although, I am quite glad to reach the age of 60.  Oooooh, that sounds old, huh? But with it, I’ve gained a lot of lessons and wisdom.

So while being a  youth is fun, know that it is also fleeting.
